Abstract

The present study analyzed the adhesion of Web 2.0 resources by teachers of Library Science courses in Southern Brazil in order to share and disseminate Information and Knowledge (I & K). The methodological procedure used was descriptive research with the administration of a questionnaire to teachers of Library Science course. The results indicate that Web 2.0 resources are used to assist in carrying out their actions, to work as a channel of communication with internal and external audiences, to share and disseminate I & K with students and peers. In addition, teachers use the tools as strategic resources to assist and offer support in the disciplines taught in Library Science courses. It was noted that activities performed by teachers are aimed at searches for information and most teachers are not Web collaborators. The incentive for the use of resources for the students is aimed at classroom and professional training use. Web 2.0 helps promote social interaction in which information and knowledge can be produced, disseminated and used in shared mode.
